Pilz Brazil: Safety as an engine for growth – today and in the future

When inter­na­tional industry meets at the 2026 Han­nover Messe, one country in par­tic­ular will take centre stage: Brazil – the fair’s offi­cial partner country. The Brazilian economy is in a period of dynamic mod­erni­sa­tion. Digi­ti­sa­tion, automa­tion and func­tional safety are rapidly gaining in impor­tance – and Pilz Brazil is right at the heart of it.

Security that’s tangible – Pilz Austria on tour

Raise aware­ness of Indus­trial Secu­rity among machine oper­a­tors and other stake­holders in the com­pany with a wink and a touch of humour: That’s what Pilz Aus­tria does in its video series “Safety & Secu­rity Unplugged.” Spread across loca­tions in Vienna, Linz and Graz, the sub­sidiary has been serving cus­tomers in the field of machine automa­tion since 1969.

Trendsetter for Safety und Security – 25 years an ambassador for safety

The oil, auto­mo­tive and mechan­ical engi­neering indus­tries play a key role in Mex­i­co’s economy. Around a third of the coun­try’s total work­force is employed in the indus­trial sector. That makes Mexico the second largest economy in Latin America, directly behind Brazil.

Automation for a “green” Norway

In Norway, this year’s partner country of Han­nover Messe, the energy sector has tra­di­tion­ally played an impor­tant role. In the last years, topics such as renew­able ener­gies and robotics have def­i­nitely come to the fore. Since as far back as the 90s, Pilz prod­ucts and solu­tions have been used in the oil and gas industry – including in Scan­di­navia.

The future is formed through cooperation

Where the future is con­cerned, Pilz not only looks to exchange with cus­tomers, but also works inten­sively with research ini­tia­tives. But the secret recipe for suc­cessful research is not digi­ti­sa­tion …

Strong market for mobile robotics

For Pilz Spain, founded in 1992, long-ter­mism is what mainly counts, both with cus­tomer rela­tions and with regard to its mis­sion to foster a safety cul­ture in the country. Every year, the sub­sidiary trains more than 600 machine man­u­fac­turers and oper­a­tors in machinery safety. In view of the increasing trend towards mobile robotics, Pilz in Spain is bundling its exper­tise in that area.

Pilz through the ages

Pilz’s com­pany his­tory is char­ac­terised by inspi­ra­tional events and tech­no­log­ical mile­stones. A journey from 1948 to the present day.

Close at hand since 1948

The German Sales and Ser­vice Com­pany is also cel­e­brating its 75th anniver­sary. What sets the most expe­ri­enced of the Pilz sub­sidiaries apart?

“Working with passion”

Since October, Manuela Bernasconi has been the Man­aging Director of Pilz Switzer­land. In her state­ment she spoke about what makes Pilz Switzer­land spe­cial and what is on the mind of her cus­tomers.

Added value through automation

Designing entire pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ments to be safe for people, machines and the envi­ron­ment: Pilz Czech Republic and Pilz Slo­vakia are experts at this. With their exper­tise on holistic safety con­cepts, they sup­port their cus­tomers in over­coming the chal­lenges resulting from increasing automa­tion.

Expertise in demand

While on Euro­pean fac­tory floors it is normal for per­sonnel to feel safe when working on plant and machinery thanks to laws and stan­dards, in other places around the world there is still work to be done to con­vince people to carry out tech­nical safety mea­sures. Like in Japan, where Pilz Japan has been helping change minds for 25 years.

Tradition meets innovation

Por­tugal is the offi­cial partner country of this year’s Han­nover Messe. Within the Pilz Group, Pilz Por­tugal is already ­cel­e­brating its 20th anniver­sary and reflects how tra­di­tion and inno­va­tion go hand in hand in Western Europe.

Delivery capability has top priority

Bot­tle­necks and long delivery times are placing a mas­sive burden on the global economy. In order to manage this dif­fi­cult sit­u­a­tion, Pilz founded a cross-depart­mental task force back in autumn 2020.
